[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4447422, member: 24302"] By the way the lockdown was in a region of about 60 million people with Wuhan at it's center. When they announced they were closing the theaters it was for the entire country. If you aren't aware the biggest holiday of the year is the Chinese Lunar New Year in January. The Chinese typically travel to be with family members where they're from much like we do at Thanksgiving. It was estimated that 5 million people traveled in this period from Wuhan AFTER the Chinese knew they had a problem and were trying to contain it without causing attention in the rest of the world. It's why Italy got hit so hard. There are several hundred thousand Chinese nationals in Italy, particularly from the city of Wuhan because of the relationship of the garment industry between Wuhan and Milan. So a lot of Chines flew to Milan during this period to see relatives. And a lot of Chinese flew home to Wuhan from Milan(there are many direct flights) and got infected before returning. Italy was the hardest hit before the U.S. and Spain overtook them. And this happened because China hoped to keep this under wraps while trying to contain it. You probably will refuse to believe this because you despise Republicans and want to destroy Trump. Did he take it seriously at the start? Doesn't look like it. But he probably, most likely, had bad info from the Chinese. He did order a travel ban of Chinese nationals, but this virus is so contagious that until we started the social distancing here we had no hope of containing it, and plenty of leaders and pundits on both sides didn't take it seriously. Ebola, MERS, SARS, the avian flu, etc, never amounted to much. And at first they probably assumed the same about this virus, especially as China was telling the WHO that it wasn't being transmitted human to human. Scream at me and others all you want but I'm confident what I just described is pretty close to the truth and much more likely than the whole thing is the fault of one man. [/QUOTE]
